    Hi all!

    This is Kim Kelly from the New York State Department of Health, Bureau of Cancer Prevention and Control. I've been the Communications Coordinator in our Bureau for more than 10 years. I'm very happy NYS has been able to launch a second statewide, multimedia campaign using breast cancer screening ads that were developed based on focus groups with Black women.

    I'm also the co-lead of the NACDD Cancer Council Communications Workgroup and I look forward to learning more about all of you and your work on this platform!
